Staff Profile

Background

Prof Pickert studied Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Science and Technology (RWTH) Aachen, Germany and the University of Cambridge, UK. During his study in Aachen he worked for three years as a student assistant at the Institute of Automotive Systems (IKA), working in the field of hybrid electric vehicles. After the completion of his studies Prof Pickert received a three year PhD scholarship from the Research Committee of Newcastle University for research in the field of power electronics. Following his PhD, he spent six years in industry before returning to academia. From 1998 to 1999 he worked as an application engineer and later as product manager for Semikron GmbH, Germany. From 1999 to 2003 he worked in the research and development department within the Volkswagen Group, Wolfsburg, Germany. As the group leader for electric power drive trains for electric vehicles he was responsible for power electronics systems, electric drives and vehicle electrical systems for electric and fuel cell vehicles. In October 2003 Prof Pickert was appointed as Senior Lecturer at Newcastle University and he became Professor of Power Electronics in 2011. In 2012 Prof Pickert became the Head of the Electrical Power Group. Within eight years he managed to grow the size of the group to above 100 researchers, doubled the number of awarded projects, doubled the number of articles and quadrupled research income. In 2020 Prof Pickert became the Director of Discipline for Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) coordinating all research and teaching activities relevant to EEE. In 2020 Prof Pickert also became the Director of the EPSRC Doctoral Training Centre in Sustainable Electric Propulsion which will train over 50 PhD student over the next 5 years.

GENERAL STATEMENT ON TEACHING

Since the beginning of my academic career I have been lecturing “Introduction to the Basics of Modern Power Electronics” for the Undergraduate Programme and “Power Electronics – Design & Implementations” for the Master Programme. For 9 years I was also module leader of the MSc coursework module and I was running the e-learning module MSc “Advanced Power Electronic Devices” for 4 years. The MSc coursework module is a laboratory based teaching module and the e-learning module was designed for distance learning. All modules are annually revised and some of them have been completely changed over years in order to increase students’ learning outcomes and to make subjects more exciting. For example the lecture “Power Electronics – Design & Implementation” formerly called “Power Electronics” did not include any practical design aspects. Over a two year period topics of the module were changed and two new sections discussing design methods and selection criteria for power components have been included. The name of the module was also changed in 2013 to reflect the radical changes made. The new sections provide students with the tools required by industry to design power converters. The old lecture material did not reflect this requirement. In addition handouts are now available and tutorial questions have been generated, helping students to measure their progress. In the future I will introduce self-learning study material based on PSPICE. With the help of the simulator students can learn more in-depth the material that has been lectured to them. The PSPICE material has been developed over the last three years using MSc project students and undergraduate students and the material is tested at the moment prior the launch. The success of constantly changing lecture material and changing teaching methods is reflected in the student feedback I receive. I am consistently achieving high overall ratings in my modules: e.g. in 2018 my average score was “4.4”, in 2012 I achieved “4.5” and in 2016 it was “4.3” (“5.0” is the maximum).

I taught for 9 years the MSc coursework module that has seen the most radical changes. This module is not a taught lecture. All activities are taken place in the laboratory. When taking over the module I scrapped all experiments and replaced them with experiments which now link with the contents of ongoing lectures. In addition each experiment has become more challenging and fulfils now latest Health and Safety standards. Finally the course structure and the marking scheme were changed. Students are now working in either groups or individually depending on the experiment. A port-folio assessment allows a faire marking scheme. I was able to convince the School to invest in new equipment (~£50k) in order to make these changes happen. The outcome of the module change is reflected in the attendance number from 75% (before the changes) to now 99% and in a new bespoke laboratory.
